Then it's a shame I got rid of my swing out for being heavy, noisy, and constantly in the way of rocks and trees. Along with being a pain to use when accessing the rear of the Jeep.
What is abundantly clear are the types of problems you have encountered with your Jeep along with the solutions you have come up with to address them. Or the lack thereof. Which is fine. Not everyone has the same wants and needs with regard to functionality. The reality so far, is that your insights are quite useless for me.
Merely added my conclusions based on what was provided. You do whatever you like or need for your situation. I simply pointed out that if the tire is not supported by some means it will be stressful on the tailgate.
